Its a week long programme BJ.....................Mon - Sat you place a Mars bar at the Moles mound, in the night he will come up and eat them.............On Sunday you dont put one there for him............When he pops up and says "Hey, wheres my Mars bar?".....You hit him over the head with your spade.

That's so mean!!

Yes, it was a joke I got told years ago.....I bet it made you smile though.!The only humane way I know is one of these ultasonic thingys that are unbearable to the moles ear, he packs up and moves on so I am told.Good luck.

RC wrote:This is one for one of our birdie people!! The following photo was taken of a pylon on the road to Achnasheen in Wester Ross. The middle section is completely taken over by a very large birds nest. This is the only pylon that has a nest in it. Any ideas what bird would have made such a massive nest?? It has been there for at least two years, but we have never seen a bird near it

Hi RC, I have done a bit of research and found that your nest was built by a pair of Ospreys. A platform was built near the top of the pylon to form a base for the nest.

Thanks Loth. I wonder if it is still used by the Ospreys???

btw I love that photo of a swallow in flight. It is gorgeous. Do you mind if I print off a copy to frame for my other half's office?? They are his favourite bird (apart from me that is!! ) and he spends hours lying in the garden watching them above our house!!

There is no return,Once the seal's undone,Morning dawning with life abounding,But in time we all must fall,And it seems to be this way,Hearts change and brightness fades,And it leaves you facing the days,When your hope is blown apart,Life is hard.

Only when the last tree has died & the last river has been poisoned & the last fish has been caught, will we realise that we cannot eat money.

I did hear about a bloke who got rid of his moles by poking fresh dog poo down the holes. (true story) They hate the smell apparently and will not touch it to move it.If that is too much of a task for you then try reading this document......http://www.which.co.uk/documents/pdf/moles-153653.pdf

What about this for a lovely story......much better than throwing Lambs on bonfires and stamping on a 2 day old deer, the horrible stories I have heard of lately. This is nice.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8108297.stm

Nice story, but actually what he might not realise is that once you have a grey suirrel it is illegal to let it go again. So by law he either has to keep it as a pet or kill it. Here is some text about the law regarding squirrels......

Although the grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is now endemic throughout virtually the whole U.K., it is still regarded in law as an illegal immigrant. It was imported from the United States and Canada in the 19th century and has gradually established itself throughout Britain.

However, despite the fact that they are common, it is still a criminal offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1984 to release a grey squirrel in the British Isles, so pest controllers trapping squirrels are not allowed in law to relocate them.

Here's apicture taken from the platform on Mallaig station. There were 3 nests on this disused line, 2 with 3 chicks and one with 2 eggs, not being sat on at the time. The parent birds were not put off by the 500 passengers boarding but they were probably getting fed up of eating chips!

Dog poo That'll not be hard to find - there's plenty of it on the beach near the caravan Dirty dog owners

The article got me more worried - I can see the caravan sinking into the ground where Mr Mole has dug his network of tunnels
